The EODgshOrenen strike.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The strike goes
hope'esslY on, causing an immense
amount CT inconvenience to those against
whom It is directed, aud no little suffer-
ing to the strikers. It's managers are uow
threatening 10 stop the running OF trans
on the eleV-ted railroad track. Men es-
terdAy we're ordered 10 go 10 Fifteenth
street and Hsrlem river to load coal. The
men without exception refused. Should
the order be renewed to-day 1t is said
that the tTackmen will strike and their
example Will be followed by all the en-
ployes.
The extension OF the strike to the rail-
road freight handlers on several railroads
having dock facilities on the city water
front has brought the mum Der Of men now

A Good Dinner Well Served.

Gradually return To common sense Is
coming about in matters of the table among
people of fashionable pretension. and much
of the ridiculous tomfoolery incidental to
dinners is being cast aside. Elaborate menu
cards have been discarded, and dinner favors
no longer used among people of the incest
taste. The idea now is to have a good dinner
well served the table simple as possible
and no nonsense whatever. In all probability
the multiplicity of dishes, the introduction ot
sensational things seldom eaten, professions
of disguised walters, turning ON blue tire,
aud similar culinary comedy that has marked
so many dinners in the past will not be much
heard of this winter. The gastronornic
mountebanks are either learning better OF
can't afford it, and perhaps the fact that
people who have been giving fourteen course
dinners have found out that there really are
people who don't know what it is to have a
dinner at all may have hal something To do
do with it. Some of the rich gourmets who
give champagne dinners at the Bellevue hotel
now do SD on the condition that MIR. Boldt
shall prevent their names from getting in the
papers, they annoyed n day two
afterwards by pleading letters from needy
people and beggnrs in want Of a meal This
detracts from their peace Of mind, and they
do not like it. Accordingly, all the servants
and other attendants are pledged to secresy,
and il is funny to see the maneuvering prac-
ticed to get private little dinner parties i'll ami
out unobservcd.- Philadelphia Times.

What an Engiishwoman Has to Say ON
the subject-sor,e Useful Hints.
The Princess of Wales, the mother o.
grown up SONS and daughters, looks quite n
young woman, almost girl still, and dresses
in the style that suits her and young women
bsst Women of middle age, or who have
parsss-d their first youth, have acquired the
knack of looking considerably younger than
those of the last generation ut the same period
of life. Perhaps they take more pains with
their face and figure, and fashions are
more youthful Looking round at most
fashionable assemblies in the present day,
there j. little marked distinction between the
matrons and the maids. The former occa-
sionaily wear more costly fabrics en- granie
toilet, but the hair is dressed much in the
same way, nnl no one wears IA cap hnbitually
unless compclle,l. 1t Is "a feature Of our nation
that mothers and daughters often might be
mistaken for sisters
The truth is, no one advise ON these
personal matters. A wise woman watches
the lines grow in her face and studies not to
strengthen them by overjuveuilIty of attire
a wide brimmed hat, which throws n
shadow the face, makes u woman look
years older, but the high crowned, narrow
trimmed hats are far less trying. IL requires
Judgment To know when To discard the
ing of hats at all. According to the present
fashions, 10 would be lest to wear high
straight collars of velvet, and where lace il
admissible plenty about the throat The hair
should only bc turned up from the nape Of
the neck when the throat has no sign OF
scraggin,>s ami the style does not tend To
harden the side outline Of the cheek bones,
which have lost their youthful roundness of
iieshly covering.
The fashions of the day favor slim women,
hut slimness too often toward middle life de
generates into undue thinness, which is by
no means youthful Therefore thin women
must cons ientiousiy study their own indi
vi,luality, and not take too great liberties ON
the score of cmbonpoint, which keeps OH

AMI make thu study of drapery n serious one.
Stout women should avoid waist seams, and
cnrry the skirt and bodice in one, down the
sides as much as possible. Let them avoid fur
borirrings to basques just short women
should Danish them from the edges of their
skirts. Tnll women may indulge much as
they please in soft falling drapery, indescrib-
nlle i'm its arrangement; but short ones would
thereby acquire tublike proportions. IL is a
great mistake of English women that dark
and fair, short and tall, thin and stout, adopt
the same modes, whatever they may he. In
all these things the appearance Is the point to
be considered, but remember, a woman is as
old n she really looks to others, not she
thinks she looks herself, if blinded by vanity
